Preparation

Strawberry compote ball

Put the diced strawberries in 3 cm bombe moulds, do not press. Mix the pectin and the Zusto, and heat the strawberry puree and the lime juice to 30°C. Add the pectin mixture while stirring. Bring to the boil and simmer for another minute. Pour the mixture onto the diced strawberries until covered and freeze immediately. Remove from moulds and stick two bombes on top of each other, freeze again

Hazelnut meringue

Beat the aquafaba with lime juice until light and add the Zusto (part 1) in three parts. Fold in the hazelnut flour, cornflour and Zusto (part 2). Pipe dollops of meringue of 3 cm diameter and bake at 110°C for 60 minutes.

Strawberry mousse

Heat the strawberry puree slightly and add Zusto (part 1). Stir until smooth. Add the carrageenan and mix in the blender. Bring to the boil. Allow to cool.
Beat the aquafaba with the lemon juice until light and fluffy and add the Zusto (part 2) in three parts. Beat well. Mix in the strawberry puree mixture slowly and then fold in the whipped cream.

Construction of strawberry ball

Fill three-quarters of a silicone ball mould (ø 7 cm) with the strawberry mousse. Press in the strawberry compote ball and close with the hazelnut meringue. Freeze.

Dipping chocolate strawberry

Melt the chocolate with the olive oil to 40°C. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Remove the strawberry ball from its mould and dip in the mixture. Place directly on a cake board.
